ONLINE CBT THERAPY
Online CBT therapy for anxiety and OCD
Hi I’m Daphine Bbale the name and face behind SanyuTherapies. I specialise in supporting adults experiencing OCD and anxiety disorders such as panic, generalised anxiety and health anxiety. Sanyutherapies is based in London but I work with people across the UK.
Compassionate, evidence-based CBT tailored to you
I provide a warm, non-judgemental online space for people experiencing anxiety, OCD and overwhelming patterns of worry. We will work together to understand what is keeping you stuck and develop practical ways to help you move forward.
I provide cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention therapy (ERP) , in addition to using tools from therapeutic approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I will listen to what matters to you and tailor our work to your needs, experiences and goals.
“Sanyu comes from my Ugandan heritage. In Luganda, it means joy and happiness—and that is what I hope every person can begin to move towards through therapy.”

FAQ
Common questions
Can CBT/ERP help with OCD and intrusive thoughts?
Yes. CBT is an evidence-based treatment for OCD. Our work may include Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), helping you understand the cycle of obsessions and compulsions and practice responding differently. Your therapy will be tailored to your experiences, needs and goals.
How do online sessions work?
Sessions take place via a secure video platform. All you need is a quiet space, a device, and a stable internet connection. I'll send you a link before each appointment.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies from person to person. We'll review regularly together, and there's no obligation to commit to a fixed number at the outset.
What happens during the 15-minute consultation?
This is a brief informal call rather than therapy or an assessment session. You can tell me a little about what you are looking for, ask questions and learn how I work. We can then decide whether arranging an initial assessment feels like the right next step. There is no obligation to continue.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Therapy is confidential, with limited exceptions relating to safety, safeguarding and legal requirements. I will explain these limits clearly before therapy begins and you are welcome to ask any questions.
How long are sessions?
Individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes long and typically take place weekly. We'll agree a regular slot that works for your schedule.
